In short : imagine that convenience, but not only is it in your pocket, it'll actively track where you are in your journey and update arrival and departure times accordingly.
Yeah, I can imagine. I have an iPod touch, and the best I can do is triangulate through wireless connections, or whatever you call it. Given that free wi-fi isn't falling out of the sky, this is limited. But I understand the functionality of wireless connections and location-based applications. It's probably awesomesauce, and it one of the reasons why I look forward to a smartphone. I like the concept of Yelp too, where you can find a place to eat, shop, etc., based on where you are, and with reviews/rating from Yelp members.
